He sold 4,000 acres of this purchase the and was about one some time ago, and he says that his net profits on the whole transaction amounts to the snug sum ot $24,000. This proved a very profitable invest- ment on the actual cash outlay, as only a portion of the purchase money was paid, and it sveaks well for the foresight and wisdom displayed by Mr. Walton in taking advantage of this opportunity, We have no more enterprising and public — spirited citizen in our midst, and his many friends rojoice to see him thus prosper and grow rich. That Jail. Butler was visited by quite a heavy blow on last Friday night, but about some limbs off the court house yard trees and unroof the pride and pet of | our citizens and the admiration of the outside world, the county jail. It occurred early in the evening, be- tween niae and ten o’clock. At the time seven or eight prisoners were confined in the jail, and when the | top began to go sheriff Hanks in- | forms us it was quite laughable at the fear displayed by some of them begging him to turn them out and making at the same time all kinds ot promises of good behavior, think- ing that the whole building would fall down. The building presented a delapidated appearance the next morning, nearly the entire roof of lthe main building being gone.

He is an old newspaper man, haying been con- nected with the St. Louis Times under Stilson Hutchins, and was official reporter of the senate in the thirty-first general assembly.

A move was made to elect city officers, when the awful fact was discovered that there was not a man in the city who had been there long enough to hold any city office Mr. Marsh was equal to the occasion, and, hastening to this city, | living on the east side of town, got into a row witn his and dur- ing the fracas hurled a stool at her wife, seven-year-old son cutting a severe gash in his head.
